Energy

The sun, the wind, tidal action; we have clients who are using all of them to generate electricity. Imagine a totally self-sufficient portable street light with an LED fixture powered by a solar panel, with a wind turbine on the top. Now take that light and plunk it down in a remote location where no one will ever run a power line. Hook up your cell phone and charge it while you run your notebook computer to check e-mail (and maybe a microwave to cook some dinner). This is cool stuff, and the entrepreneurs we work with are developing their products and selling to their markets from PortTechLA. Want to get off the grid? These things can be ganged together to produce enough power to take a small office building off the grid, and integrated with smart grid applications as well. You’d rather be at sea? Two of our companies are working on hydro-electric generators that use wave-action to generate electricity.
